Sofa Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 when are we gonna get the xml's for the other awsome ships you have :( that miner you made is all iv been waiting for :..( See attached file. Also I found out I built it out of scale so hopefully you don't mind. Shouldn´t destroyer be larger than frigate? In navy its usually the case (US Frigates were usually half the tonnage of US destroyers for example) I based it off this definition: Plus, it seems to me that "destroyer" refers specifically to a relatively small, fast ship used to protect capital ships and convoys from short-range attacks (ie: subs, torpedo boats), while "frigate" has been around for longer, and seems to have had a broader definition between different navies and time periods. So this is just my take, and not necessarily trying to be "accurate" (since, if that was the case, I don't think I'd be using nautical terminology at all).

EmpireEmpathizer Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Excellent work! I'm using your mining ship right now and enjoying it, I'd like to start putting an escort together though.

Any chance you'd be willing to share your latest frigate? The Khar-Ashem? Attached. There seems to have been a recent nerf to thrusters, and the ship now has very poor maneuverability. I can't seem to find any changelogs referring to it, though, so I'm unsure how exactly to fix it. Edit: Scratch that, this is only a problem in the Beta. The patch notes for 0.10.3.7509 say that thrusters now rely on volume, and have been buffed, but other Beta participants have been reporting problems with braking thrust.

Downloaded, and thank you very much! I'm still so new to the game and ship design in general and I appropriate the advise on the thrusters. Am I understanding that the larger the volume the better the braking effect? Or does increased volume inhibit braking maneuvers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still so new to the game and ship design in general and I appropriate the advise on the thrusters. Am I understanding that the larger the volume the better the braking effect? Or does increased volume inhibit braking maneuvers? As far as I know, in the game's current state, thruster effectiveness depends on surface area. So a favorite building method has been building thrusters in banks of thin slabs stacked in different directions (as seen on the Khar-Ashem - feel free to dissect it to get an idea of what I'm talking about). This allows you to have multiple thrusters facing the same way, all packed into a relatively tight space. However, in the beta branch, there's talk of changing that to make them dependent on volume instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolocke Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Swapped out the Chergan CV's triple nacelle engine array with a beefier setup, also increased volume to enable a second upgrade slot. Any chance for XML on this as well? =D Your builds are wonderful!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrAvatar Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 These are all great designs, I commend your ability to make good looking ships that don't break the 51k m3 on slot ship size. I also approve of the Homeworld aesthetic, so much so that I also decided to make Homeworld themed ships. As for frigate, I dunno where you got that description from, but is doesn't seem right to me,... IN Homeworld, the sizes went fighter<corvette<frigate<destroyer<Carrier<Battlecruiser on the wiki about naval ships : >Modern frigates are related to earlier frigates only by name. The term "frigate" was readopted during >the Second World War by the British Royal Navy to describe an anti-submarine escort vessel that was >larger than a corvette, smaller than a destroyer, and about equal in size and capability to the American >destroyer escort. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frigate so yeah the wiki places frigates between corvettes and destroyers. also naval ship wiki agrees with this ranking in sizes. Fast attack craft< Patrol boat< Corvette< Frigate< Destroyer< Light cruiser<Heavy cruiser< Battlecruiser<Helicopter carrier<Battleship<Aircraft carrier https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_ship With all that being said, there's no 100% rule that says space ships have to follow the same naming conventions as Naval ships, especially in a SciFi universe. But as far as I'm concerned, I'll roughly be using this progression. (possibly adding more heavy and light variants for corvettes, frigates and destroyers. I'm thinking that for every module slot, a ship changes size class. with a max of 15 ship slots, that would need 15 different classifications. possibly something like: Light corvette(gunship)< Heavy corvette< Frigate< Destroyer< Light Cruiser< Heavy Cruiser< Battlecruiser< Light Carrier<Battleship<Heavy Carrier<Heavy Battleship< Battle Carrier<Dreadnought < Titan < Baseship (mothership) I'm not 100% on this list yet, as I've only built small Corvette sized ships so far, and am currently working on a frigate sized ship (approx 146meters in length) (a 0.2 sized cube is 1 meter, a size 2 cube is 10 meters I find having worked this out makes it easier to work on ship scaling, especially when trying to replicate ships from other SciFi franchises, as long as you know the dimensions of the ship you're trying to re-create, of course. ) Also on a side note, for anyone trying to re-create specific Homeworld Ships, I think this video can be very helpful. It's going to be my main reference for creating Homeworld themed ships. The first one I'll be trying is the Turanic Ion Array Frigate, minus the "Array Arms" as those seem like a nightmare to create with all those weird angles.

Sofa Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Had to start rebuilding in light of recent updates, and because I don't want to have to go sifting around through the guts of my old ships. Here's the starter ship I've cooked up in its basic configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeet Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Hey there awesome work on the ships, as a homworld fan i like how you capture the homworld style and bring it to avorion. as for the update, please do not take down your uploaded ships they drift more yes but, they are a good source to learn from and a good base for modification aswell. and the type one miner is just fine if someone uses a upscaled version (because it is that good) it can drift a bit much (depends on personal taste) but they could do this. Red = Directional thrusters / Green = Inertia dampeners http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=899362385 p.s. yes i parked infront of my own ships (80% i was there anyway/20% shameless exposure) ;D Best wishes Yeet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sofa Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 Clanship Mahran-Sekht Clanships are the flagship of a clan's principal family. For smaller clans, this could be a small utility craft or corvette. For those which field fleets and have some scratch to spare, these can be battleships and carriers. Most are either the former, or somewhere in between. Much of the galaxy is reluctant to sell decent ships to Khudani, so most of these are salvaged, or consist of cobbled-together parts of whatever the clan in question could scrape together. These are often the precursors for Khudani engineers who produce ships of their own, and few are alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czyrek Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Yeah if we could get the xml for those last two it would be awesome, as well that second ship in the thread looks awesome too (looks kinda like a corvette) if we could get that xml too it would be awesome. I'm very much impressed with your work and hope to see it on th ed workshop soon now that it's up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
